Moving a 100-year
tradition into the futureJohn Deere has been manufacturing harvesting equipment for over 100 years, and over those years we've come to recognize that nothing is so good it can't be improved. When it came time to design the new combine, we made sure to listen closely to what you had to say. Thanks to your feedback and a dedication to quality, we are introducing some of the smartest and most powerful machines we've ever built.
More of everything is hereWhat can you expect from the new S-Series combines? Expect a new Class 9 machine to give you more horsepower than anything in the industry. Expect a larger cleaning shoe that delivers up to 15% more capacity. Need more? How about a 400-bushel grain tank on the S680 and S690 models, and a cab that doesn't let function get in the way of comfort and convenience.
Now that you have more power, take advantage of it – introducing the new 616C and 618C Corn Heads and the new 635FD and 640FD HydraFlex™ Drapers. All are designed to capitalize off of the new machines' enhanced performance and capacity, giving you solid, stable results with every pass.
You've picked a great time to look at the new John Deere S-Series Combines. It's the start of a new harvesting era. You just have to turn the page to become a part of it.
Five Stars – The John Deere S-Series line up features five new machines including the
S550, S660, S670, S680 and the S690 the industry's most powerful Class 9 machine.

S-Series Combines 600C Corn Heads
Beat the clock with the New 616C and 618C16 and 18 rows deliver a more productive harvest
We knew we couldn't come to market with the most powerful combine and not deliver front-end equipment that could keep up with it. Introducing the new 616C Corn Head with 16 rows and 618C Corn Head featuring 18 rows. Built ready, these corn heads offer more rows, and perform exceptionally well at higher harvesting speeds, which means you can get done a whole lot sooner.
Excels in every condition
More acres, higher yields, and hybrids with tougher stalks are real challenges at harvest. That's why the 600C components are robust enough to chop through the toughest, thickest crop with ease.
Smooth handling and less loss. High-performance gathering chains, stalk rolls auger, feederhouse, and trough promote smooth crop flow and help to make sure every
kernel makes it inside the combine. The results: fewer tossed ears, less ear shelling, and less trash fed through the combine.
Higher capacity feeding. The optional CommandTouch
Multi-Speed feederhouse drive provides higher capacity
feeding in the heaviest yielding corn. The reliable PowerShift
transmission delivers up to 42% more torque capacity that
enables you to operate the corn head in five speed ranges.
Push one button and you can control the speed from the cab.
11
S-Series Combines StalkMaster™ Chopping Corn Heads
Improved Height Sensing. To improve
ground-following capabilities and
increase harvesting speeds, we relocated
the height sensors on all 600 Series Corn
Heads to the outer points and positioned
them forward 7 inches (17.8 cm).
Improved slip clutch protection.
A heavy-duty slip clutch design
protects both the row unit
gearcase and the StalkMaster
lower chopping
unit gearcase. If
the clutch slips, the
operator will know
immediately.
Lift assist row unit deck
shields make it easy to
access the maintenance
points. Finish quickly
so you can resume
harvesting.
600C StalkMaster™ Chopping Corn HeadsThe StalkMaster Corn Head Chopping System lets
you size and chop corn stalks while harvesting,
eliminating second-pass operations and saving time,
fuel, labor, and additional tractor operating costs.
StalkMaster is available on the 606C, 608C, 616C and
the 618C corn heads.
Tapered shaft and locking retention nut
improve retention and ensure optimal
material transport. Stalks are drawn through
with a gentle touch and then finely and
consistently chopped by the StalkMaster
chopper. The 600 Series corn heads can also
be tailored with stalk rolls designed to match
your harvesting needs.
Straight fluted. Crimping action leaves the stalk mostly intact.
Opposing Knife. Standard with StalkMaster to maximize stalk processing.
Intermeshing Knife. Medium stalk processing uses less power.
Easy disconnect. The gearcase on the StalkMaster row units now features a chopping disconnect. Each row unit has a convenient shifting lever on the right side of the gearcase to turn the function on or off.
12
The New 635FD and 640FD – Flexibility meets high-performanceMore feet and flexibility to get you more How can you make sure you don't leave profit in the field?
Get to know the true full-width flexible cutterbar – the
new 635FD and 640FD HydraFlex Drapers™. Both the 35-ft and 40-ft, 600FDs flex 7.5 inches across the full
width of the cutterbar allowing the draper to hug the
ground, reaching more beans with every pass. Better still,
the exclusive HydraFlex floatation system allows you to
change the amount of weight of the cutterbar, riding on
the ground, to match soft or hard soil conditions while
you cut.
16-Inch High-Capacity Feed Drum. A large feed drum with tapered
ends and gathering finger, delivers the crop from the center feed
belt into the feederhouse for smooth, uninterrupted crop flow.
Engage the feederhouse reverse switch on the armrest and you can
easily reverse the reel, feed drum, and center feed belt from the
comfort of your cab.
S-Series Combines 635FD and 640FD Drapers
13
High-speed harvest without compromise
Not only do the 600FDs flex, they are ready to move. Pair them up with the powerful new S-Series combines and you're looking at a powerhouse of harvesting potential. Now you can cut lower, move faster, and get
the job done sooner, without
sacrificing quality.
S-Series Combines 635FD and 640FD Drapers
Draper Belt Protection System. Integrated into the
HdyraFlex draper platform, this system minimizes side belt
damage should slippage occur. How does it work? Speed
sensors monitor the speed of the idler rollers and if any
major slippage happens, the belts shut off and a warning
is displayed on the CommandCenter™ Display.
Two-Piece Reel. We equipped the 640FD with
two reels. The two-piece reel features a five-
cylinder lift system that provides a consistently
level reel height across the full width of the
cutterbar. This allows even feeding of the crop
unto the draper belts.
Keep an eye on what matters. We designed the new 600FDs with swept back rear panels which allow you an unobstructed view across the full width of the head. You can see the crop as it's cut, laid head first on the side
draper belts, delivered to the
center belt, and fed smoothly
into the combine.
14
S-Series Combines 600D Draper Platforms
Tough conditions won't stop youPerfect harvesting conditions rarely occur,
that's why many of you go with the 600D Draper
Platform from John Deere. The entire line works
fast even in tough wet conditions.
Designed to perform. The dual-knife drive
system, with a built-in drive line protection
system, provides years of trouble-free
operation. Perma-Glide divider points are
designed to minimize outer divider plugging.
Performance features also include taller belt
cleats, wider belts, and a larger, 16-inch feed
drum. You can even add an optional auxiliary
top auger to keep bushy crops moving into the
feederhouse. With a complete draper line that
includes sizes from 25’ to 40', you’ll have the
widest selection of draper heads for the widest
range of crops and conditions.
1. Cutterbar Tilt. A center-mounted hydraulic cylinder lets you tilt the cutterbar from the
convenience of the cab. You get the optimum cutting angle and the lowest possible cutting height.
2. 16-inch feed drum. Four inches larger than previous models, this drum is sized to provide
better feeding in high-volume and high-yielding crops.
3. Timed Dual Knife Drive System. You’ll appreciate the smooth, vibration-free cutting performance you get
from the shaft-driven in-line dual knife drive system. Standard on the 630D, 635D and 640D.1 2 3
15
S-Series Combines 600D Draper Platforms
Reel resume and reverse. With reel resume, you can store two
reel positions so you’ll always match field conditions. And for the
occasion that your draper gets too big a bite, a single button lets
you reverse the reel, center feed drum, and center belt to remove
material without stepping out of the cab.
Integrated road transport. Equip your 630D, 635D or 640D
with this optional transport system for absolute convenience.
Converting from field to transport mode takes only minutes and
requires no tools!
For rice harvesting. If you’re using the 625D in rice, opt for
the large, 25-foot steel tine reel. It has a 54-inch diameter with
eight bats to ensure excellent crop contact for optimized cutting
and feeding.
One-inch draper belt cleats. Exclusive 1-inch tall belt cleats
move heavy, down, damp crop efficiently. In addition, the belt
speed is now 20-percent faster for more consistent,
even feeding.
HydraFloat™ suspension system. No more cutterbar bulldozing
in soft soil! This exclusive hydraulic height-sensing system lets
you increase the hydraulic pressure so the cutterbar will float over
the ground. Adjustments are made in the cab. Because there’s
no manual float spring tension to adjust, no stopping is required.
With the low, 1.5-inch cut height, this system is a winner in down,
tangled crop.
16
Bring-it-on capacity!What’s in front of your combine has just as much effect on productivity as what’s inside your combine. So we designed the 600 Series Rigid and HydraFlex™ Platforms to match the high capacity of the S-Series Combines and equipped them with a range of performance-boosting features, including:
Single-point hookup. All John Deere headers and platforms feature single-point hookup of electrical and hydraulic connections, as well as latchpin engagement.
Double-cut knives with heavy-duty drive. Four-inch double-cut knives give you cutting capacity and harvesting speed, while the epicyclic drive offers reliable, smooth performance.
HydraFlex technology. With HydraFlex, you can control how much of the cutterbar’s weight is on the ground without affecting the ultra low cutting height of this header. Custom cutters, you can dial up the pressure to maximum, locking the cutterbar into the rigid position, thus giving you one platform you can use for wheat and beans.
Exclusive HydraFlex Platforms give you unmatched flexibility to run faster and cut cleaner over uneven
ground. Float arms with hydraulic cylinders give you six inches of float, even when changing pressure
to match harvest conditions. In-cab controls let you make adjustments, or run on “automatic.” For rigid
operation, simply use the maximum pressure, or use mechanical lock-out brackets.
S-Series Combines 600 Series HydraFlex™ and Auger Platforms
17
S-Series Combines 600 Series HydraFlex™ and Rigid Platforms
Segmented skid shoes
(available on HydraFlex
platforms) provide more
flexibility for ground-hugging
harvests so you can reduce field
losses in down or tangled crops.
Header height sensing (HHS)
helps maintain consistent off-
ground cut height in uneven
ground. HHS is standard on
HydraFlex platforms, optional
on rigid platforms.
The 26-inch diameter auger, with its
5-inch flighting, takes in a thick crop
mat. Plus, long, retractable fingers
running in-line the full width of the
auger aggressively grab crop material
once it’s cut. Result: smooth, high-
volume crop feeding – even at faster
ground speeds.
The stone dam (Flex only) helps deflect
rocks, minimizing damage, while
helping hold material on the platform.
Stainless steel deck plates provide
a smooth transition between the
cutterbar and auger. A short stone dam
is standard on all HydraFlex platforms;
a tall stone dam is available for rocky,
uneven fields and no-till soybeans.
The heavy-duty epicyclic knife
drive increases drive capacity
and improves reliability. The
straight-line oscillation makes
the drive run smooth.
Smooth performance in windrows
No matter how rough the field or how thick the windrows, the 615P Belt Pick-Up gives
you smooth, complete gathering of windrowed grain, thanks to a variety of exclusive
features and innovations.
Start with the belts themselves. Four, 44.5-inch rubber belts provide improved
performance over designs using more belts – you’ll see tighter tracking, plus reduced
seed loss. Connectors between the belts increase drive capacity, even in tough
conditions, without the need for a center support on the drive rollers. Belts are driven
by dual hydraulic motors, not a mechanical/hydraulic combination, for fewer moving
parts and increased reliability.
The exclusive FieldGlide™ suspension features an adjustable air spring
and heavy duty hydraulic shock design to dampen movement during
field operation and transport, allowing you to increase harvesting
speed without bouncing the platform over windrowed crop. No tools
required – simply set the air springs quickly and easily; once set, the air
springs don’t need adjustment during the season.

S-Series Combines CommandTouch Feeding
Appetite for more!The S660, S670, S680, and S690 Combines have a unique feederhouse design that gives you more than enough capacity to take full advantage of the extra productivity you get with these machines. Add to that a new durable frame and now you can handle the increased width and weight of the larger heads with ease and confidence.
The new feederhouse on the S-Series provides large areas of clearance for high volumes of crop to flow
uninterrupted, without hesitation. It's all about matched capacity.
Speaking of crop flow, you can expect better engagement of crop, earlier, plus a smooth transition from corn head or platform to the feederhouse chain. The 5-speed feederhouse drives deliver high-torque slip clutch and 135-hp reverser, for more matched capacity.
19
■ High capacity feederhouse. A proven productivity boost for your John Deere S-Series Combine.
■ 5-Speed Feederhouse Drive. The durable high-torque slip clutch ensures peak performance
and a long life cycle.
■ Better visibility. The long feederhouse design gives you a full view of the header and the height-of-
cut without having to lean forward. You can also see the stubble height behind the header.
■ Feederhouse reverser. The robust 135-hp reverser makes light work of stubborn plugs.
■ Single-lever multi-coupler. Hooking up headers doesn't get much easier than this.
■ Easy adjustments. The front plate can be adjusted fore and aft to compensate for different tire
sizes, crops, and conditions, ensuring easy transition from the header every time.
Lateral tilt feederhouse – Take Control of Header TiltHarvest more grain at faster speeds – in any terrain. The lateral tilt feederhouse is a self-leveling
system that allows the feederhouse and header to tilt 4 degrees side-to-side, hugging the hills.
Sensors on all platforms and corn heads detect changes in the terrain and signal the lateral tilt
controller. Tilt response is instantaneous.
The benefit? More consistency without bulldozing or gouging. And because you can harvest faster
on sloping terrain, you stay productive.

Smooth operation - TriStream™ Rotor The best of both worlds…high capacity and gentle threshing. That's why the TriStream is a favorite among corn, soybean and small-grain growers.
The TriStream rotor features a slightly tapered front nose, which dramatically reduces the 'growling' that often comes with thick crops and heavy rotor loads. The spiral vanes surrounding the rotor, guide the crop material through the feeding and threshing area, reducing hesitation and improving productivity.
S-Series Combines TriStream and Variable Stream Rotor
3 Separator tines feature
high-strength materials, a short
breakpoint design, and a wear-
resistant coating for increased
life. (Optional).
2 Heavy-duty vanes on the top cover of the STS
module help propel the crop rearward through the
threshing and separating system. Unlike conventional
rotaries, STS module vanes never need adjustment.
1 The ‘rifling’ grooves on the elements allow the bullet-shaped
rotor to move large volumes of crop material through the rotor
more efficiently, the same way rifling in the barrel of a gun allows a
bullet to move more efficiently. Rifled elements ‘grip’ crop material,
providing a pulling action to help even the crop flow, allowing the
rotor to deliver better threshing performance.
TriStream Rotor Technology reduces the force
required to move material through the combine by
as much as 20 percent. This easier, smoother crop
flow reduces the potential for rotor 'growling' at high
feedrates, even in damp conditions. This is especially
beneficial when harvesting early or late in the day, or
any time conditions impair crop flow.
New Variable Stream Rotor Building on the proven performance of our TriStream rotor, we've added another opportunity for our small grain and rice operators - the new Variable Stream rotor. It too delivers high capacity and smooth performance.
21
S-Series Combines TriStream and Variable Stream Rotor
Dual-range separator-drive
gives you a wide range of speeds
to match conditions. High range
provides 380 to 1,000 rpm;
low range offers 210 to 550
rpm. Shift one lever to change
ranges.
Now you can harvest close
to the ground without worry
thanks to a true stone trap. It
helps catch rocks before they
reach the threshing module.
Flip one lever for fast and easy
cleanout.
The John Deere S-Series module
features a conical design.
This gives the crop mat room
to expand as it travels through
the separator module, reducing
the chances for roping – and
lowering power requirements.
The pull-and-release action
frees trapped grain in the crop
mat, boosting grain savings
significantly.
The longer, more tapered front cone design make this rotor well-suited for rice, where conditions are damp, wet, or extremely green. The rotor is also recommended for small grains where straw is tough. The Variable Stream rotor also features remote adjustable top cover transport vanes. The vane angle can be adjusted to reduce the stress on straw material as it flows around the rotor, increasing the quality of the straw.
Extended-wear separating
package includes factory-
installed extended-wear
concaves, extended-wear
threshing elements and
separator tines, and extended-
wear rotor top covers.
22
S-Series Combines High Capacity Cleaning
High-capacity cleaning with easy in-cab adjustmentAdding cutting capacity doesn’t do much good if your cleaning system is overloaded. To make sure your S-Series can keep up with faster harvest speeds and higher-yielding crops, the new shoe features a large one-piece chaffer and larger sieve to deliver up to a 15% increase in cleaning capacity over the previous system. Tailings are low too.
The chaffer has 30% more louver area and the sieve has 18% more louver area. The unique, multi-level design is also less sensitive to slopes. The result is a high-performance cleaning system that handles slopes and hills, while still delivering consistent results.
But when you do need to adjust the sieve settings, you can make them electronically in moments from the comfort of your cab.
The high-inertia shoe drive, now standard
on S-Series Combines, provides smooth,
consistent power delivery with less belt
slippage.
Uniform
Distribution
Four conveyor augers move
material onto the shoe steadily
and evenly, even on hillsides or
when going up or down hills.
Improved fan performance
The fan ensures peak performance
and clean grain sample. A steep
pressure curve delivers high
pressure with less volume loss.
About 30% of the air goes to the
front chaffer at high speed; the
rest goes to the rear chaffer
and sieve.
2-stage pre-cleaning
The fixed front chaffer helps thin
the crop mat; the raised front
chaffer pre-cleans up to 40% of
the free grain before it reaches the
main chaffer.
Extended design for more
capacity
The huge rear chaffer and bigger
sieve are specially designed
to handle the threshing and
separating performance of the
new S-Series.
23
S-Series Combines Active Tailings System
Once material is threshed it
distributes the material evenly
across the return pan
The tailings auger conveys
the tailings material to the
active tailings return system
for threshing
Touch Set With the selection of a crop and the touch of a button or screen, the TouchSet automatic combine adjust allows you to fine-tune the threshing rotor rpm, cleaning fan
rpm, concave clearance, main chaffer opening, and sieve opening all from the armrest console in the cab, while you're moving.
It comes pre-loaded with a number of factory settings, plus you can store one customized setting for each crop setting and a number of personal settings can also be stored for specialty crops like sunflowers, that aren't
already pre-loaded.
Active Tailings System Higher capacity with a gentle touch. If you run a large combine and work a lot of acres, then you'll appreciate
the new Active Tailings System on the S680 and S690 models. By handling returns that might normally go back
to the separator, consuming its performance, it distributes the grain and material back onto the return pan, not
to the threshing area, and increases the total capacity of your machine. Better still, it's easy to adjust. Our Active
Tailings System uses less aggressive concave settings than the ones in your separator – and handles sensitive
crops gently, maintaining the integrity of your grain quality.
So you don’t have to climb back into the cab, ground level
adjustment of the cleaning system is standard equipment on all
S-Series Combines.
Active tailings return system
threshes the material without
reintroducing it back into the
separator
24
Grain handling capacity that keeps you runningHigh yields, tough schedules, and the new Cleaning System. Together, these factors necessitate a clean grain handling system that can keep up with your harvesting pace. Here’s how the S-Series Combines deliver:
400-bushel grain tank - the largest factory-installed grain tank in the industry – Our S690 machines boast a 115-bushel per minute capacity, in order to attain matched capacity with available front-end equipment. .
Fast delivery – 105 seconds (that’s 3.8 bushels/second) is all it takes to empty the 400-bushel grain tank that's standard on the S680 and S690.
Better handling – The 26-foot (7.9 m) unloading auger pairs ideally with the 40-ft platforms and corn heads, making unloading on-the-go a stress-free operation.
Today’s wider, centered platforms require a longer unloading auger. Our optional
26-foot auger keeps in-field unloading easy for both the combine driver and the grain
cart operator. To ensure reliability, we redesigned both the auger and the support
structure. A cast unloading auger turret brace helps carry the increased load and
torque found with this larger auger. Plus, we added extra steel to the grain tank,
thicker floor sheets, and more support on the right-hand side of the combine.
S-Series Combines Quality Handling

S-Series Combines Quality Handling
The moisture sensor has been
redesigned and is now mounted
on the clean grain elevator on all
S-Series Combines. The system
uses an improved method for
more accurate results.
The John Deere 22.5-foot
(6.9 m) folding unloading
auger shortens the length of
the combine by approximately
8-ft. (2.5 m) making it easier for
you to transport and store your

S-Series Combines Residue Management
Chop, drop, size and spread: with the S-Series residue handlingChopped, dropped or fine-cut…the S-Series Combines
feature residue handling systems and options that are designed to take care of your residue management needs.
The S-Series combines feature a fine-cut chopper. The
chopper blades, along with unique air shrouds in the
chopper housing, give an ultra-fine cut while generating a
strong blast of air for more even residue distribution.
They also feature a manually adjustable vane tailboard
design, perfect for spreading residue in widths to 30 feet
(9.14 m). This system is easy to swing up and out of the
way for windrowing.
To better manage residue distribution with wider platforms, the PowerCast™ tailboard spreads residue 30-ft
(9.14 m) and wider. This feature spreads residue evenly,
which helps you get even crop emergence in the future,
especially in no-till fields.
27
S-Series Combines Residue Management
Chopper blades feature large surface wings with long lasting, wear-
resistant material. The wings are positioned to generate maximum
airflow to the outer edges of the chopper, giving you a more consistent
spread pattern. Fewer blades make for reduced power requirements
and lower replacement costs.
The high-speed chopper’s 12 deep deflector fins can be positioned to
control distribution width of crop residue. (Spread can be adjusted up
to 30 feet, depending upon conditions.)
The Advanced PowerCast™ tailboard and straw chopper is an option of the
premium residue system that gives you additional residue management
flexibility. The Advanced PowerCast tailboard contains two hydraulically-
driven enclosed discs and a center divider that moves back and forth in a
pendulum motion. A straw chopper, overshot beater, and straw chute
complete the premium residue system.
With the new premium residue system you can:
• Chop straw and chaff, and then spread both by making adjustments
within the cab
• Form a straw windrow while chopping and spreading
• Form a straw and chaff windrow without chopping material
• In-cab shroud adjustment for wind
compensation
• At the touch of a button swap
the shroud position to match
wind direction
Enhanced residue disposal

S-Series Combines PowerTech™ Plus Engines
More power where you need itFrom the increased feeding capacity of the
CommandTouch™ feederhouse to the stalk
processing ability of the 600C StalkMaster™
Chopping Corn Heads, the new S-Series Combines
give you the features that fit the way you farm.
But where does all the power come from?
Take a look at the 13.5L PowerTech™ PSX engine
on the S680 and S690. This hard-working
powerhouse is the finest engine we've ever built.
The secret to its impressive power lies in the
dual turbochargers (1 fixed, 1 variable geometry)
and high-pressure common rail system. The
high capacity cleaning system and air-to-air
aftercooling also improve engine performance.
You'll also appreciate the power boost that lasts
up to five minutes during unloading. Simply put,
this is one tough, super-efficient, engine that
won't let you down.
Interim Tier 4 made simple. The new PowerTech
PSX is so advanced, it meets emission
regulations. No need for urea either, only diesel
is required.
The 9.0L PowerTech PSX Engine delivers higher
performance for the S660 and S670. This engine
features automatic fuel priming, fuel filter
change indicator, water-in-fuel sensor and more.
Consistency = More Control
The Isochronous Governor on the
new S-Series combines keeps drives
operating at a constant speed,
enhancing your combine's overall
capacity and efficiency. In tough, wet or
dry conditions, the shoe and separator
operate at a more consistent speed,
delivering a more uniform separation
and cleaning of the crop.
• Consistent engine speed equals better durability
• Consistent engine speed equals better hydro control with constant pump speed
29
S-Series Combines PowerTech™ PSX Engines
PowerTech™ PSX Engine: Designed and built for dependability
and durability1 Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) cools and
mixes measured amounts of cooled exhaust gas
with incoming fresh air to lower peak combustion
temperatures, thereby reducing NOx.
2 The series turbochargers deliver more boost
pressure which increases the performance.
3 4-valve cylinder head provides excellent
airflow resulting in greater low-speed torque and
better transient response time.
4 High-Pressure CommonRail (HPCR) fuel
systems provide variable CommonRail pressure,
multiple injections and higher injection pressure
with 2000 bar.
5 Low-friction, single-piece steel piston
improves fuel economy, reduces emissions, and
increases durability.
6 Directed top liner cooling contributes to
improved oil control and increased durability.

S-Series Combines Drives and Axles
The ProDrive™ Ground Drive SystemGet more precise, more consistent control of your ground speed throughout the travel range of the hydro
handle. ProDrive lets you switch between two infinitely variable speed ranges with the push of a button.
Using the CommandTouch™ armrest console, set the first range for typical harvesting speeds, and the
second for transport.
The right transmission for youProDrive: Automatic efficiency
Seamless shifting. When ground conditions change, ProDrive lets you smoothly shift between two speed ranges with the push of a button. You’ll no longer have to stop to shift when going up or down hills or exiting fields.
Speed Selection. Set one speed for normal harvesting, the other for faster field
work or transport. Then select any speed in either range by using the hydrostatic control handle on your CommandArm™ console.
More torque. With power to spare, ProDrive makes light work of tough conditions. It delivers 64% more torque at a harvesting speed of 5 mph.
Push Button Shift Transmission
Shifting made easy. Our all new three-speed Push Button Shift Transmission makes shifting easy. Simply bring your machine to a standstill, select the gear you need by pressing one of three buttons on the arm rest and let the combine do the rest. Our Push Button Shift Transmission applies the hand brake automatically to ensure seamless shifting.
Comfort and control. Our all-new Push Button Shift Transmission makes operation easier with features like the automatic park brake. As soon as you pull the hydro level to the neutral position, the park brake is applied giving you more comfort and control and helping you through those long working days.
Another benefit ProDrive delivers: An
electro-hydraulic differential lock with a
4-pinion differential for greater traction
in muddy harvesting conditions.
31
S-Series Combines Drives and Axles
The heavy-duty final drive is
designed and manufactured with
a massive, ductile iron housing
that provides high load-carrying
capability. The single-piece, die-
quenched ring gear provides high
strength and long wear life. The
final drive provides the capacity
to handle larger high-flotation
tire options as well as wide draper
platforms or large corn heads.
The hydrostatic system includes a
variable displacement pump gear
driven from the main engine gear
case and a variable displacement
motor located on the ProDrive™
Transmission. This provides
an infinite speed range in each
gear and eliminates ground belts,
reducing maintenance.
This heavy-duty rear-axle spindle,
standard on S-Series Combines,
offers tremendous load-carrying
capacity. It lets you go with larger
steering tires without the extra
expense of 4-wheel drive. All
S-Series Corn Combines feature
adjustable rear axles that let you
adjust tire tread from 120- to 152-
inch centers (305-cm 386-cm) in
4-inch (102-mm) increments...
ideal for ridge-tillage operations.
Two-speed 4-wheel-drive lets you switch between torque ranges. In slow-speed mode, the high-torque rear
assist is ideal for tough conditions. Use high-speed mode for low-torque performance and faster ground speeds.
All S-Series Combines feature a high-strength axle built from a one-piece rectangular tube welded
to the separator uprights. Its load-carrying ability and durability are far superior to the bolt-together
designs found on other combines.

S-Series Combines AutoTrac™ RowSense
Automate your corn harvest with AutoTrac™ RowSense™
To get every dollar from every hour and every acre, consider some of the options available from John Deere Ag Management Solutions.
The biggest opportunity for corn growers is the availability of AutoTrac RowSense. It delivers the accuracy and efficiency you expect from AutoTrac
even if you’re harvesting in down corn, around terraces, or on pivots. Fusing GPS data from the StarFire receiver with mechanical feeler data gathered from the row sensors (installed on the row units), AutoTrac RowSense lets you harvest hands-free in down corn, around terraces, or on pivots.
With our satellite-based hands-free AutoTrac system, every pass matches the full cutting width of your corn head. This helps reduce overlap - even if you are harvesting at night.
When harvesting in other crops, add ease and convenience by using AutoTrac. Both it and AutoTrac RowSense are scalable to the level of accuracy your operation demands. And because all S-Series Combines now come AutoTrac Ready, you can take advantage of guidance efficiencies with little set up.
Keep track of what you’re harvesting with the standard Harvest Monitor – view yield and moisture readings on-the-go. Add Harvest Doc™, and record yield, moisture, and production details, as well as create maps and reports to help with next year’s planning.
GreenStar™ guidance. Whether it’s you in the cab or a less-skilled
operator, a GreenStar 3 guidance system delivers a quick payback.
Choose the level of accuracy you need, from 10 inches pass-to-pass, 4
inches pass-to-pass or to one-inch accuracy with the RTK system. To
make it even easier, all S-Series Combines come AutoTrac Ready for the
best integration in the industry.
Documentation. Keeping detailed records is a snap! Every S-Series
Combine comes equipped with GreenStar Harvest Monitor – see the

S-Series Combines Service and Maintenance
Put service and maintenance on an express routeBrisk harvesting speeds are just the beginning with an S-Series Combine. You’ll also breeze through your service and maintenance schedules.
Start with accessibility. It’s excellent. Lift the side-shields, and you’ll see why. Thanks to gas struts, the shields virtually lift on their own. No heavy lifting.
Service and maintenance points are easy to locate, too, thanks to the uncluttered layout on the left side of the machine. Everything for the separator and cleaning shoe is in view. Access to the tailings and clean-grain elevators is on the right-hand side of the machine.
Greasing an S-Series Combine is a simple task, thanks to convenient lube banks. Or choose the automatic grease option. Plus, there are no daily lube points. In fact, the shortest lube interval is 50 hours. That means you can spend less time prepping your combine, and more time harvesting.
Invest in John Deere equipment and enjoy the benefits of a professional
